Pantocaf It Strip Of 10 Capsules
Description
Pantocaf IT 40mg/150mg Capsule is a combination medicine containing itopride and pantoprazole, used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). GERD is a condition in which stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing irritation, chest pain, and heartburn. Pantocaf IT 40mg/150mg Capsule helps reduce acid production and improve stomach emptying, providing relief from these uncomfortable symptoms.
Itopride in Pantocaf IT 40mg/150mg Capsule works by improving the movement of food through the stomach and intestines, which helps prevent acid from flowing back into the food pipe. Pantoprazole reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach, protecting the lining of the food pipe and reducing irritation and pain. Together, these components help manage GERD effectively and improve digestion.
You should take Pantocaf IT 40mg/150mg Capsule exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is best taken on an empty stomach, preferably 30 minutes before a meal, to achieve maximum effectiveness. Do not alter the dose or stop the medicine without consulting your doctor, as this may worsen your symptoms or delay recovery.
Lifestyle and diet play an important role in managing GERD along with Pantocaf IT 40mg/150mg Capsule. Avoid spicy, oily, or junk foods, alcohol, smoking, large meals before bedtime, and caffeinated drinks, as they can trigger acid reflux. Eating smaller, more frequent meals and maintaining an upright posture after eating can also help reduce symptoms.
Common side effects may include mild nausea, abdominal discomfort, or headache. Most people tolerate the medicine well, but if you experience persistent or severe side effects, contact your doctor immediately. Maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle along with regular use of Pantocaf IT 40mg/150mg Capsule can help control GERD symptoms and improve overall digestive health.

Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
- Pantocaf It Capsule works by the combined action of both its components - pantoprazole and itopride.
- Pantoprazole works by inhibiting a pump called the proton pump in the stomach wall, responsible for the secretion of stomach acids for digestion and hence leads to reduced acid production.
- Itopride works by increasing the movement in the stomach and intestines, thus accelerates the emptying of the stomach.
